Of pinning and pretty things...

After lots of talk about a friend's Pinterest board at a dinner out last week, I realised I hadn't pinned in ages and decided to revisit my Pinterest page tonight. I had forgotten how much I enjoy finding lots of pretty things that inspire me - whether it is food, fashion or design.

My new year's resolution is to make more time for exercise and holidays but I think I will extend it to just making more 'me' time. Even if it is just an odd spot of pinning here and there. Working full time and juggling family and life in general has me feeling awfully busy at times so I need to remember to take a step back and take some time out every now and then. This is what I found to inspire me this evening...

Some friends of ours are currently holidaying in Japan (they were also our wedding photographers and have an awesome blog here. If you are getting married I definitely recommend them)... Anyhow, I have been reading their tweets and status updates and am reminiscing and dreaming about Japan. I spent a year in Sapporo on exchange whilst at uni and have visited Japan I think at least 4 other times... it has been about 2 years since my last visit so perhaps another one is due soon?!?! There is just something about the place that I love - perhaps it is the memory of some amazing times, the delicious and unique food, the shopping or the wonderful people... I can't put my finger on it but you MUST get there if you haven't already.
On shopping, some of my must visit stores are:

Uniqlo: Your one stop shop for basics. They have also partnered with many designers, companies, artists for the UT project - limited edition tshirts. UT t-shirts are available in all Uniqlo stores but c…
